Have you ever wanted to write a blog, but didn't really have anything to write about?
Heck, I could write about what I'm doing right now, I guess. I'm just finishing up my lunch, actually. It started out delicious with cauliflower, carrots and a ranch dip, and some salsa. Carrots in salsa is good! I was alternating dipping the carrots in ranch and then in salsa, so on and so forth. Then I'd eat some cauliflower in the ranch. I was going to try cauliflower in salsa but... then I realized that the cauliflower was moldy...and that ruined that real fast. The carrots are fine... but every once in a while, oh say one in three carrots, would taste rancid. I don't know what's up with that. So, I broke out my back-up lunch of Ritz crackers. Lucky my salsa isn't going rotten. Ritz 'n Salsa. MmmMmmMm! Seriously, they taste super good together. You've gotta try it! And I have water. Water... so perfect, so refreshing, so pure.
This week has been interesting thus far. Lance's car decided to die this weekend, so Lance had a co-worker take him to work on Monday and I picked him up, and I drove him to work on Tuesday and a co-worker took him home. Lance feels so bad making people go out of their way, but what he doesn't realize is that people are happy to do it, because we love him. Yes we do!
So it's been snowing like craz-ay this week. Icky icky poo poo. The only thing worse than snow is driving in snow. I take that back. The only thing worse than snow, is OTHER people driving in snow. I'm telling you, most of the accidents on ice are caused by people that don't know what the heck they are doing, so they go 30mph (or slower) and if their gap of .5 mile between the car in front of them gets slightly smaller they slam on their brakes. Oh yes, it's not a tap on the brakes, it is a full blown SLAM. This sudden braking, either causes them to slide (dun dun dun) or causes the person behind them (who is 6 car lengths behind them) to suddenly brake as well, and slide into them, or into the next lane, or into the median, etc etc.
There are a couple of extremes in snow driving.
One is the person I described above who drives super slow and leaves tons of space, and hits the brake any chance they can. Bad idea.
The other is the person who drives 60-70mph, tailgates, and gets mad the the people driving slow, and slams on their brakes. Usually this person is in a truck or other SUV. Come on, you all know it's true!
What's the thing in common with the 2 above? Brakes. Slamming on your brakes is never a good idea. So just don't do it. That's all I have to say about that.
I got my hair did last night. It's pretty hawt. It's dark, dark, dark red-brown, and blonde. I like it a lot. And the blonde isn't gross dull blonde, it's super sparkly. It looks like glitter in the sun. It's amazing! Maybe I'll post a picture later on. ☺

Exciting Vacations!
I have a bunch of vacations coming up that I am so excited about!
First off, my company is paying for us to go to this First Steps to Success seminar in St. Louis Missouri. We are staying at the Hilton there. It is optional so unfortunately, my company is not paying for the flight or the hotel, but that's ok, it's surprisingly affordable! What they are paying for is our fee to get into the seminar, which is about $200 dollars. So I am more than grateful that they are paying for that. Heck, maybe I'll come away with this with the motivation and capability to become a millionare (I wouldn't be the first person to be able to do that after going to this thingy...). Anyway, I'm going with Rachel Ward, an old friend from high school who I got re-united with when she came to work with me temporarily. She's a lot of fun, and I'm excited to go on a little girls' trip.
Speaking of girls' trips, I'm going on another one for my 21st birthday with Sierra and maybe Cassie. I'm sooo excited! We are going to Vegas. Woot woot! We've been looking at hotels, and I found a couple that I really like, it just depends on how much Cassie and Sierra are okay with spending. :)
I've been to Vegas many, many, many times before. My family used to go twice a year... and since Lance and I got married we've been about 4 times. So it's not a new place to me. I know my way around, I know what a good price on a hotel is, I know what things there are to do for people that aren't 21 that are still totally fun (Chocolate Factory anyone?). But everytime I tell someone about it, they become this know-it-all... and it really bothers me.
Anyway, on our somewhat itinerary that is still up in the air, we have:
Marriage Can Be Murder - this is atotally awesome murder mystery dinner that we want to go to. It's about $50 a person, and you get a 5 course dinner, and you get to basically participate in a murder mystery thing. If any of you have gone to Murder Mystery party it's similar to that, but with real actors, and you don't know who the actors are, and who regular people just like you are. I think it will be totally fun!
We definitely have to make stops at Coke World and M&M World.
I want to go to the Playboy Club and play some blackjack, but we'll see if Sierra is up to that one. She doesn't really know how to play. If not, I at least want to go to some club!
Definitely have to visit the Ethel M Chocolate Factory... free chocolate, hello I am so there!
There's lots of other things we'll do, but I'm done writing about them.
Last on my vacation list: another cruise! Woot woot! Lance and I are somewhat planning another cruise to go on. This time we want to go out of Miami, FL and go to the Bahamas. We'll see though. That one is just an idea right now, but if we go we'll go in May.

Lucky Sevens
I decided that I should probably explain our user name"LuckySevens" and blog title "Lucky in Love."
Some of you might have guessed, some not even noticed the blog title, or heck, maybe you don't care! But whatev's.
Lance and I started dating back in July of 2002. July 7, 2002 was our first kiss (and the day he asked me to be his girlfriend). We dated on and off (but mostly on) for 5 years! We realized that we
should get married in October of 2006. But, my brother had recently left on a mission, so we didn't really want to say anything or make it official, because I wanted Eric there. But, as many people know it's hard to make it to the temple if you're kinda engaged but not really, for an extended amount of time. So Lance proposed in December. We wanted our anniversary to be the same date it was already on, July 7th. So that was the date we planned for. Thus, we got married on the day that many, many other people did, July 7, 2007 (or 7/7/07).
In order to make the connection further: 7-7-7 on a slot machine means very good things for you! Hence: Lucky Sevens. And Lucky in Love... well... it's just a cheesy title that has to do with our 7's luck, and we're in love, so, Lucky in Love.

Welcome to Bogger-City
So I have joined the blogging scene... oh dear me! It's not very normal for me to hop on a bandwagon... but, what the heck. Someone might actually be interested in what's going on with Lance and I...then again, maybe not. But, it will still be fun to write in the hopes that someone will read it.

Disley World
MySpace.com Blogs - JenJo MySpace Blog

Nope, that's not a typo. My super cute almost sister-in-law, Lolly went to Disney Land when she was little, and on their third day, when her parents woke her up to go she said "I don't wannoo go to Disley Land..." I bet she was so friggen cute! I love her. Aww, warm fuzzies.
Anyway... I went to Disney World in Florida last week, and it was AWESOME!!! I have the bestest husband in the world. I'm so glad I married someone who loves leaving town just as much (if not more) than I do, so we can go on vacations a lot. But, this one was a bit bigger than our "normal" get-aways. We actually saved for it so we could do a lot more.
Tuesday the 2nd of December we flew out of SLC airport to Phoenix, AZ, where we had a 45 minute lay-over. We got some steak sandwiches for lunch and headed over to board our next flight, which took us to Orlando. It was cold!! Probably 60 degrees, but that's not really warm enough for me, srsly.
We took a shuttle, with a way cool driver, to our hotel in Kissimmee. We tipped him well. ☺ Our hotel was average, yes it was outside of the park, dude, that's cheaper! It wasn't bad though. Our first night there we went to CiCi's Pizza Buffet, because we've seen the commercials a lot but there aren't any around where we live, so we really wanted to try it. It's really good!!
On Wednesday we went to Magic Kingdom (which is similar to the Disney Land park in Anaheim). It was totally fun. We stayed for the fireworks this time (We didn't do that in Cali this past spring.)! We thought our seats were pretty good... but the fireworks ended up being behind a huge tree, so we didn't really see much of them. It was alright though. I got to see Tinkerbelle!!!! I love her.
Thursday we went to Hollywood Studios (which is similar to California Adventure). The Tower of Terror ride is a bit different there than it is in Cali. It was sweet!! They also had a Backlot Tour that was really sweet, we got to see behind the scenes stuff, and learn some things about Disney. I wish I could remember specifics, but it was pretty rad. We also saw Lights, Motors, Action, which is this car stunt show thing. Very entertaining. At night we went and saw Fantasmic, which was a fireworks/music show with Mickey and some Disney characters about dreams coming true and stuff. I dunno, I wasn't really that into it. It was alright. After we saw that we walked over to the section of the park that was covered in millions of lights that danced to Christmas music. It was so gorgeous. They also had fake snow blowing into the street. I loved it! I saw my friend Andrew here, with Trent! It was kind of a shock to see him half way across the country, but hey, he loves Disney so it fit! I said hey to him and we talked for a bit. After that Lance and I went back to the hotel for the night!
Friday we went to Epcot. I really, really liked Epcot because it was super new to me! They had a couple rides I'd never been .., and they have a section of the park that is like walking through different countries. All the buildings and restaurants are country specific. Very, very cool! We had lunch in Japan, went on a boat ride in Norway, and ate dessert in America. Pretty wild.
Saturday we went to Animal Kingdom and this park was really cool too, because it was really new to me. Walking into the park is almost like walking into a jungle... a well controlled jungle... but yeah. There are trees and animals everywhere. My favorite ride was in this park; Expedition Everest. Such an awesome ride! Here we decided to "splurge" for lunch and hit up an African buffet. Ah it was so delicious! Food in the parks is so expensive, for just normal burgers and fries, so this was a tad more money than that... ok, like double. But I feel like I ate my money's worth. We were there for quite a while... heheh.
I feel like we got to do everything we wanted. We were super tired at the end of each day, and more so the end of the week, but it was totally worth it! We flew home on Sunday, and got home around 3 in the afternoon. Our flight flew out of Orlando at 5:30am! That's 3:30am Mountain time... ugh, super early! But hey, it wasn't too hard to get up for work on Monday!
I can't wait for our next vacation! I think we're going on a cruise out of Florida to the Bahamas in the spring. That's the plan, but we'll see if we stick to that plan.
